Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora, showy in August 
Kerria japonica double; Double Globe Flower 
Its abundance of golden-yellow, double, globe-shaped flow¬ 
ers 1 to IV 4 inches across, like balls of gold, are very showy in 
latter April and early May and appear moderately at intervals 
until fall. A neat, compact shrub growing about 4 ft. high; 
numerous short-branched spreading stems, an attractive bright 
green in winter; autumn foliage yellow. Suited to partial 
shade; prune in early spring. 
18 to 24 inches_ .50 each; 4.50 per 10 
Lilacs; Syringa 
The objection to the old common lilacs was that they are slow 
about commencing to bloom. The newer Hybrid Lilacs bloom 
young, often the year after planting if given suitable conditions, 
are more varied in color and more dwarf. For fragrance and 
freedom of bloom in latter April, nothing can surpass lilacs. 
They are suited for distant effects, for planting in corners or at 
the boundaries of the lawn, as screens, massed in groups and for 
specimen plants. Full sun with good air drainage is best, though 
they will stand a little morning and evening shade. Well drained 
soil, not too rich, gives a short-jointed growth that produces an 
abundance of flowers. Prune after blooming, a little each year 
resulting in well formed bushes and flowers well placed over the 
entire bush. The flower buds are formed in summer for the fol¬ 
lowing spring, so they should not suffer for lack of water at 
this time.
